back-to-back via AUX ports

Got two routers and want to use the AUX ports via back-to-back with a "rolled cable". I have followed this page ( http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/793/access_dial/auxback.html ) to a T but I can not get RIP ver.2 to go over the AUX ports. Does anyone have any Ideas to make this work?

Plz be as detailed as possible. Thanks in advance!

As with any troubleshooting, we need to begin at the bottom. I would suggest the following:

- Verify the rollover cable is good. Hopefully it it not homemade. A breakout box or some other sort of cable tester should verify this. If that works:

- Reconnect the cable and make sure a noshut is done on both routers aux interfaces. If that works:

- Verify you are using the same version or RIP on both routers. RIP version I does not work with RIP version II. Either make both routers run ver. 1 or ver. 2. Since I did not see the RIP configs., I would also verify RIP is routing for the network you have set on both routers. I am sure you have this done already, but I thought I would throw it in anyway.

Hope this helps.
